I know he worked for Crail and has rode them. He probably knows more about them than anyone on here as well.

:O Greg 100+ Rep. As far as achievements go that's like the equivalent of breaking 100k/hr. Dayamn. Good work.

Ha thanks. I still don't understand this site.
As far as 100 kmph, I hit around 92 (57 mph) on my 40th birthday Saturday. A little faster than I usually like to go. I doubt I'll break 100 anytime soon.

Dropped through 10/0 Cindys on my Asym. We had some huge wind gusts and a steady 20-25 mph tailwind. The run usually tops out at 45 or so.
I'll admit it was wobbly for me. I probably wouldn't have been able to footbrake or shut down.... . Luckily, I know the run very well, and theres only one big sweeper.
I just rode pretty loose and tried to avoid most of the gravel in the road.

Congrats man. That's probably the fastest I've ever heard of anyone riding Indy geometry trucks.

I hope your insurance is paid up.

Yesterday, i took my 5/5 Cindys for a ride in the city...
First we went to a garden, that has some small hairpins, where you can try some slow predrift...
Had the bushings only tighten untill the washer doesnt move...5 stars.
The relation of lean/turn is exactly what i expected...super dope control of grip/ungrip!
Then we went to a medium fast hill in town, wich tops as 65/70 km/h....tighten the bushings half a turn, and went for it!
I must say this really impressed me...i had never in my life ridden such loose trucks at speed and felt the progression/control/power/confidence/believe that this trucks were now giving me.
Bushings must be a part of this scenario, but the Cindys sure are a bigger part in it...

Sucks that the next 2 weekends i wont be able to skate, but hopefuly, in 3 weeks ill go to a good hill 200 km away...
There ill have a better review in a full dh scenario...

Cheers, and another big thanks to Dave and Streetheap

[guivans]

Oh, and btw...some pics of my recut board.
Its good for now, but i feel lack of room in the back.
Think im gonna build another topmount for christmas...

Major stoke going on in this thread! That's pretty badass streetheap, happy birthday! That's a pretty cool present. Going off of this, do most people here think that Indys are awesome to DH until a certain point? It seems that that's what most people seem to think.

And I'm happy you're digging your setup so much guivans! Your chop looks awesome by the way. Great job.

[guivans]

Ive said before....idk about your boards , but i feel mine is more a time machine than a skateboard...
Feeling more than ready to hit 100km/h and above.
I am so stoked about this...is like when you watch other peeps movies, and you understand all thats going on there, but when you step on your skateboard, the equations you predicted from watching those movies dont aplly....until now!

God i love my setup...

Edit- thanks for your aprecitation Petary. The board still needs final looks treatment...that was just fast cuttdown untill no wheelbite!

[mcgoon]

Happy B day Streatheap!

[streetheap]

Congrats man. That's probably the fastest I've ever heard of anyone riding Indy geometry trucks.

Oh there's more.... someone correct me here but I believe 215s have been around since 1984-ish. And 169s used to be 169mm hangers up until stage 3 or 4 or something, I don't remember. And there's dudes who went fast before then, as well.
Somwhere, I remember hearing that Roskopp or Jessee or both hit 60+ on a cop's radar.
Mercado goes that fast pretty regularly I'm sure.

Thanks Pet. I think the trucks can handle it. It was crazy windy and I really never go that fast, so a lot of it was me kind of holding on. I probably was riding a little tight as well.

I hope your insurance is paid up.

good job

Aflac baby......

good job streetheap...

Thanks.
Yeah it's impractically low. I knew I'd be going pretty fast that day though. I needed that extra 3/4".

Happy B day Streatheap!

Thanks, Gooner. ♥

Like George HW Bush jumping out of airplanes on his 80th or whatever. But like 1000X more cool.

This thread is the best. I wish I ever went fast enough to make cindy plates worthwhile. But I should probably get some health insurance first.

not gonna comment on health insurance but honestly the speeds I skate Cindy's make my sessions much more enjoyable

[AJ]

Probably went 92kph with stock indy truck and bushings on a 24 inch wheelbase, this passed weekend in Vermont.

There is no greater feeling than hauling ass on a skateboard that goes where you want it to go as fast as you can. and knowing I paid 20 bucks for these trucks is awesome too!

Oh my..... AJ.
I wouldn't even think of going that fast on stock Indys. 24" WB? You got mad skillz bro.

i bought trucks instead.........
if i wasn't going fast i wouldn't need health insurance....that's my rational
